"The Glowing Pyramid"A Story by Cody Williams So what was it? Why was it so attractive? Why was it even there? “The Glowing Pyramid” By Cody Williams
What
was it that I saw? Would you believe me if I told you? I have tried to keep it
hidden for years. But I’m not anymore. I just as of one thing. When I tell you
this please don’t go out saying I am one of those “loonies” as people often
say, who go around screaming “UFO! UFO!” I don’t need that kind of attention. I
don’t need to be the crazy guy in my neighborhood. I don’t want to be that
house at the end of the street that children are afraid to walk by. That’s all
I ask. What
really happened took place years ago. I was a young man in the military back
then. I was based in Mary’s Lgloo, Alaska, a ghost town. The year was 1952. It
was just a month after everybody moved out of Lgloo. Why did they move out? Its
still remains a mystery. Many people said they saw something horrifying there.
Something that quite frankly scared the s**t out of them. I was skeptical at
first but now I believe. When
they first asked me to do the job they set me up with a team of three other
guys. Sgt. Kenneth Nall was the first in command. He had short blonde hair stylized
in a buzz cut. And had a thick blonde mustache under his nose. He was the
strongest of us all. His muscles were so big it looked like the government
pumped damn steroids in him. Now looking back, that’s probably what happened.
Another guy was Lt. Grover McNeal. McNeal was second in command. He was not
quite as big as Nall, but was still quite muscular. He had short black hair and
a hairless face that was a smooth as a baby’s butt. Last but not least, was Lt.
Blair Ginn. Blair and I were the best of friends. We met during basic training.
He was built much like me. We were both smaller built guys. Toping off at just
over 163 pounds. We were both skinny and we didn’t get the respect that we
deserved. I guess that was why we got along so well. The mentality then was
that smaller guys didn’t belong on the same team as guys that looked like Nall
and McNeal. When
we first got there Blair and I jumped out of our snow mobile and walked over to
camp in knee-deep snow. The camp was smaller than I thought it would be. It was
only two tents and two snowmobiles including ours. We walked over to Sgt. Nall
and extended our arms. Nall just looked at us disgusted and stared us down. “Nice
to meet you Sgt. Nall! I’m Lt. Harvey Miller and this is Lt. Ginn!” I said to
him trying to get some sort of response. It was actually quite funny. He was
the only man I ever met that growled while he breathed. We put down our arms
and just stared at him. After about two minutes of staring us down he pointed
over to the smaller of the two tents. We walked over to the two tents and went
inside. “Can
you believe that guy?” Blair asked as he sat down on the ground. “He had his
chest puffed out like a bird and was growling like a lion with asthma.” He
continued. I smiled and looked at him. “I
know. He’s not the nicest guy I’ve ever met. He makes those b*****s that work
in the ER waiting room look not so bad. In fact somewhat tolerable.” I said.
You know what I mean. That b***h that just sits there and gossips while
painting her damn fingernails while you’re just standing there at the front
desk saying, “Hello? I got a damn bullet in my leg! Can you please shut the
f**k up and get me a God damn doctor?” You know the kind. Anyway,
after we got finished unpacking, we walked out of the tent up to Sgt. Nall to
see if he needed us to do anything. We figured, as long as we’re stuck here, we
might as well try to get on his good side. “Sir!
Do you need us to do anything sir?” I said as both me and Blair saluted. He
just stared at us and continued huffing and puffing. I could feel the moisture
from the steam from his breath as it hit my face. He looked over at the fire
that was about to extinguish and then looked back at us. He pointed into the
woods. McNeal then walked up to us with a clipboard. “Gentlemen!
We need more firewood! Go out to the woods and retrieve it. McNeal said
pointing towards the woods with his pencil. We never saw anyone kiss anybody’s
a*s like McNeal did to Nall. Hell, he usually called him “your great” for
crying out loud. We turned around and walked into the woods obeying them. We
walked through the woods collecting every single piece of firewood we could. We
figured we could impress him by bringing back enough firewood to do us a while.
All of a sudden, I noticed that Blair dropped off of his firewood and just
stared into the woods. “What’s
wrong Blair? What do you see?” I asked him. He ignored me and walked deeper
into the woods. I followed him. I began to get this strange filling. It felt
like a magnet was pulling us into the woods. I began to see what got his so
curious. It was a flashing green light. As we got closer, I noticed that this glowing
green light was in the shape of a pyramid. It would glow green for a moment,
then go completely black. It continued this routine as Blair continued to walk
towards it. “Blair! What are you doing? Get the hell away from that thing!” I
shouted. He ignored me and walked over to it. He reached out his hand and
placed it on the pyramid. As soon as he touched it, it turned to a royal purple
color and quake. I don’t know exactly what it was about it that attracted him
so much, it was if it was talking to him. He continued touching the pyramid for
several moments until the side of it opened. What
stepped out of that pyramid was enough to make me s**t my pants. What was it?
It was simply the unexplained. The creacher had gooey skin and a big blown up
head. It had eight tentacles and razor sharp teeth. One of the tentacles
reached out and grabbed Blair pulling inside the triangle. “Blair!
What the f**k?” I shouted as the creacher wrapped another tentacle around him
much like a constrictor. The door of the pyramid closed and blood began pouring
out of it. “S**t!” I screamed as I took running though the woods back to
camp. “Nall! Nall! Nall! Please help!
Something got Blair!” I shouted from outside his tent. He stepped out and
stared me down again. “What
the hell is the meaning of this?” Nall screamed growling. “Something
got Blair! Something pulled him inside of some sort of glowing triangle!” I
said explaining myself. “What
the hell are you talking about boy? Quit f*****g playing around go get the damn
firewood!” Nall shouted while slobbering all over my face. I wiped off my face
and he turned his back to me. You don’t understand how bad I wanted to kick his
goddamn a*s! The ground began to shake as a blinding white light flew over us.
It was a round disc type spacecraft with a glowing green triangle on top of it.
It stayed directly above us for several moments before finally disappearing
into space leaving behind nothing but a boot containing the severed foot of
Blair. So
what was it? I honestly don’t know. But, I have no doubt in my mind that it was
indeed an Unidentified Flying Object. Copyright 2013 by Cody Williams Courtesy of The Enchanted Press A division of TTP Entertainment
